Don't BE Discouraged.

In conducting reforms, discOuragements
are met at every turn; this only goes to
show that the devil is still alive and at
work. It was St. Paul who wrote: I'VE
are troubled on every side, yet not distress
ed; We are perplexed, bat not in despair;
prosecuted, but not forsaken; cast down,
but not destroyed" And it was that
brave. unselfsh man, Sir Philip Sidney,
who, when hard pressed, shouted out
'Remember that in all things lamenting
becomes fools, aud action wise folk. "
Head Winds are stimulating, they bring
out the ingenuity and the pluck of the
navigator.
Those politicians who AatcL out their
unpatriotic schemes in the tarerns and
saloons have made an alliance offensive and
defensive with the rum-sellers, big and
little. Society is being classified. 1t is
also being awakened. People everywhere
are saying: We have had enough Of
the curse" There is no difficulty III see
ing which side is growing. Science, relIg-
ion and common sense all unite in com
mending our cause. Pouring alcohol into
these God-c0ntriyed bodies Of ours to
derange their operation and weaken
them is the maddest Of mad acts
Shall the rising generation be saved from
this great danger? The rum sellers say;
No, VIC want their money.
Ye vampires who despoil our homes, and
suck the blood Of our boys. well see about
it.

The Presidents Gettysburg Letter.

Nothing that President Cleveland has
written will have greater effect for the
good of the country than his admirable
letter to the committee in charge of the
reunion celebration at Gettysburg.
1t is as felicitous in expression as it is
patriotic in sentiment, and it lays open
to the people Mr.. Cleveland's feelings
regarding the consequences of the war
and the benefits to he derived from
proper observance of the lessons of the
contest. The important sentences of
this eloquent communication are these:
The fraternal meetings Of these sold
iers upon the battlefield where twenty
years ago in deadly fray they fiercely
sought each others lives, where they
saw their comrades fall and where all
their thoughts were of vengeance and
destruction, will illustrate the general
impulse of brave men and their honest
desire forpeace and reconciliation
The friendly assault there to be made
will be resistless, because inspired by
American chivalry, and Its results will
be glorious, because conquered hearts
will be its trophies of success. There
after this battlefield will be consecrated
by victory which shall presage the
end of the bitterness Of strife, the ex-
posure of the insincerity which conceals

She Was Ready for Him.

1t is an error as old as poverty to
suppose that the rich are happy. Last
Monday evening, for instance, Miss
Goldlace, the beautiful and talented
daughter of Colonel Silyerbrick Gold
lace, the millionaire, was sitting in the
drawing-room of her fathers Mob hill
mansion, reading Mr.. Royce's 'Feud
of Oakfield Creek" But this was not
all. A liveried servant entered with
his embossed silver tray and bowed
six times. Miss Goldlace ignored the
menial, but picked the card from the
salver. She blushed vividly, started
up, glanced around in ratified way,
and then began pulling bell ropes like
the pilot of a steamboat.
Servants trooped in
s'James," she cried to one, ''turn
that picture of Andromeda to the wall.
Jennie, to another, "turn that Alone
at Last quick. William" to third,
"throw something over that statuette
of Venus, and push the Greek Slave
behind the curtain. There, that will
do"
Then she sat down on an olive plush
lounge and composed her rcountenance.
sShow him in," she said in her queenly
fashion to the liyeried menial. And
he came in.
1t was Mr.. Bennett, secretary Of the
Society for the Suppression of Vice.

hatred by professions of kindness, the
condemnation Of frenzied appeals to
passions for unworthy purposes and the
beating down Of all stands in the way
of the destiny Of our united country.
While those who fought and who
have so much to forgive lead in the
pleasant ways of peace, how wicked
appears the traffic in sectional hate and
the betrayal of patriotic sentiment!
II surely cannot be wrong Ia desire
the settled quiet which lights for our
entire country the path to prosperity
and greatness; nor need the lessons of
the war be forgotten and its results
jeopardized in the wish for that fra
ternity which insures national pride
and glory.
Sent to those who now stand shoul-
der to shoulder on the field of the most
terrible struggle of the war under the
one flag that covers all American citi-
Zens, his letter marks no less important
an era in the country's progress than
did Lincoln's famous speech OH the
same historic field.
The fraternization between the Union
veterans from Philadelphia and the sur
vivOrs of Pickett's gallant 8mmand
was hearty and heartfelt. The occasion
proves that none are so truly brothers
in patriotism as reconciled fellow coun-
trymen who have tested each others
valor as foes. The speeches of the
veterans who spoke for the North and
for the South are peans of congratula-
tion over the prosperity and glory of a
reunited country.
The letter ex-senator Sherman would
be more creditable to him if it had not
been preceded by his recent foolish eff
forts to perpetuate for partizan advan-
tage the distrusts that accompanied the
great conflict.
To Cleveland and those who go with
him the heroic memories of the war
are pledges of perpetual peace in union.
To Sherman and his followers the recol-
lections of the civil strife are embers to
be famed into flames of political hate.
The country, North. and South, cher
ishes the memories of deeds of valor,
and stands by Cleveland and reconcilia-
ton against Sherman and dissension.-
